I'm new to android development and after scanning the web for this particular issue i'm still confused about how to develop an html5 cross-platform application? Can i do it using eclipse? What are my possibilities? Could you inform me what should I go through and where exactly?
You can use PhoneGap. Visit http://phonegap.com/. It will let you develop cross platform applications using html, css and javasccript.
Also this is the "getting started" page of PhoneGap API.
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/guide_getting-started_android_index.md.html#Getting%20Started%20with%20Android
Cordova plugin:

Happy coding :D
Yes, Eclipse is fine; Google provides an all-in-one package, see http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download; for a HTML/JavaScript app your could have a look at PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com/). They have really good tutorials for beginners. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhoneGap for an overview of features. There are others e.g. Titanium or Appcelerator (see http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2012/05/comparing-titanium-and-phonegap.html)

I need help with some information which I couldn't find anywhere online. is it possible to convert my existing android app to ios using PhoneGap/Cordova? if it is yes, could u guys send me any link to do it. if its no, can I know why? please...
No, you can not convert it. Code base and frameworks are to different. For making cross platform app you can use Flutter, Xamarin or others...
Only if your android app is already a web application. Cordova and phonegap are a set of libraries for extending mobile web applications with native functionalities.
Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies - HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development. If your current Android application is a Native application; you cant convert application to iOS.

I am planning to develop a cross platform mobile app.
My app has to deal with camera, organizing pics.. I am planning to use PhoneGap for building the app. I need to select a user friendly IDE for developing my app. There are so many Editors in the market.
This is my first app and I am very confused which would be a best one to use. I am developing my app on Mac. I need a simple, user-friendly Editor.
Can someone please suggest what pros and cons do I have using different Editors and a better one to use?
I am currently using Monaca for developing mobile apps using PhoneGap. It includes an IDE for developing by simply using web browser. The good thing is that you write your code just using HTML5 and Javascript and deploy it to the platform such iOS, Android and Windows 8.
There is a guide here for create a simple app with camera using PhoneGap and JQuery mobile. It is very simple to do. You can have a try.
For Cordova/PhoneGap development right on iOS devices we developed GapCoder IDE.
I want to develop one Android/Mobile app that should be support Video play and web services calls.
I am looking for cross platform development, for this whhich framework is better.
I heared Phonegap is best one but i want to know the limitations of phonegap and the performance of App if i select Phonegap.
Please share you Phoneegap vs Native
Can you please share your ideas, that is great help for me.
Thanks

PhoneGap enables you to build your application for your mobile devices using html5, css3 and javascript. It's easy to get started on any of the seven different platform. Have a look at http://phonegap.com/start for the short tutorial to get started.
There is also a similar question here at stackoverflow you might be interested in reading which compares the different framework that exist: Comparison between Corona, Phonegap, Titanium
There shouldn't be any problem adding video since PhoneGap uses HTML5, so, it supports the video tag Video tag
Is this possible?
There is very little documentation available and the one useful post I have found has an expired link.
Anyone?
The two plugin systems are completely different. Chrome extensions are far more mature and developer friendly. Bottom line is you'd need to write two different plugins.

I think this question has been discussed and answered in following QA :

I'm really new with this thing of "Android development" and I was really excited when I found Appcelerator Titanium, but now I got the big surprise, it doesn't work on my computer. What other alternatives are there for Android development specially if they include HTML, JavaScript and CSS for creating such applications?
Everything you need to know is on the official site http://developer.android.com/
There is a very popular alternative for making Android and iOS apps with only HTML and JavaScript. It is called PhoneGap:

I think it is exactly what your looking for.
I hope this helps.
My first port of call would be to try and get on the trial of Google App Inventor. It's a really neat way of making Android apps. You can find out more here: http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/
A list of various alternative web-tech-based development frameworks is here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_phone_web_based_application_framework
having said that, I have succeeded in running Titanium on Vista and Ubuntu, so if you post the error you are getting someone might be able to help.
App Inventor is fun, although it isn't Javascript based.
You may want to try out Unify, a framework for developing web apps for major platforms (in the moment iOS, Android, webOS - more coming in the future). It is open source and has been released a few days ago. :-)

Get the SL4A app for android. It lets you run python scripts on your android.
Also, look into webview. It let's you load html.
